Capítulo 145: The Variety Show

The past felt so distant that Xia Xin almost forgot it until the dream brought it rushing back to her. The events were strange to ponder upon, 'Why was I at the hospital in the first place?'

"I remember," Jing Mo said, nodding his head. "You had a fever because you didn't cover yourself while sleeping. I was so worried that I took you to the hospital. Why are you bringing this up now?"

Xia Xin's expression grew solemn, as though she was on the brink of uncovering a hidden secret. She asked, "Not long after that happened, you disappeared without a word. Didn't you?"

Jing Mo hesitated, his hand pausing mid-air as he was about to pick up a dish. He recovered quickly, masking his expression with a feigned smile. He said, "Did I? It's been so long that I don't remember. Maybe I did."

Yet Xia Xin sensed that something was off about Jing Mo's reaction. She thought, 'He seemed to remember, or why else would he insist twice that he didn't?'
